On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science.

The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.

The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

The tea? Fat stigma is the perfect tool for capitalism - it keeps us spending, shame-spiraling, and too distracted by our bodies to question the system profiting from our insecurities.

This stigma isn't random - it's profitable. And until we name that game, we'll keep playing it.

„The world outside is burning with a brand new light

But it isn't one that makes me feel warm

Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn“

Working on inventory for the Renaissance Faire in July. Going all in with my hand bound books. Trying to figure out themes so I can put guardrails on my creativity.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.
